More quotes by Alfred Adler
We only regard those unions as real examples of love and real marriages in which a fixed and unalterable decision has been taken. If men or women contemplate an escape, they do not collect all their powers for the task. In none of the serious and important tasks of life do we arrange such a getaway. We cannot love and be limited.
Alfred Adler
Life is just the same as learning to swim. Do not be afraid of making mistakes, for there is no other way of learning how to live!
Alfred Adler
Courage is not an ability one either possess or lacks. Courage is the willingness to engage in a risk-taking behavior regardless of whether the consequences are unknown or possibly adverse. We are capable of courageous behavior provided we are willing to engage in it. Given that life offers few guarantees, all living requires risk-taking.
Alfred Adler
Our modern states are preparing for war without even knowing the future enemy.
Alfred Adler
The style of life is a unity because it has grown out of the difficulties of early life and out of the striving for a goal.
Alfred Adler
God who is eternally complete, who directs the stars, who is the master of fates, who elevates man from his lowliness to Himself, who speaks from the cosmos to every single human soul, is the most brilliant manifestation of the goal of perfection.
Alfred Adler

Alfred Adler

Alfred Adler
The widespread belief that Yuppies as a class would perish from Brie-cheese poisoning turned out to be over-optimistic.
Alfred Adler
It is always easier to fight for one's principles than to live up to them.
Alfred Adler
Meanings are not determined by situations, but we determine ourselves by the meanings we give to situations.
Alfred Adler
In a country of such recent civilization as ours, whose almost limitless treasures of material wealth invite the risks of capital and the industry of labor, it is but natural that material interests should absorb the attention of the people to a degree elsewhere unknown.
Alfred Adler
The science of the mind can only have for its proper goal the understanding of human nature by every human being, and through its use, brings peace to every human soul.
Alfred Adler
Men of genius are admired, men of wealth are envied, men of power are feared but only men of character are trusted.
Alfred Adler
To be human means to feel inferior.
Alfred Adler
Tears and complaints - the means which I have called water power - can be an extremely useful weapon for disturbing cooperation and reducing other to a condition of slavery.
Alfred Adler
There is only one reason for an individual to side-step to the useless side : the fear of a defeat on the useful side.
Alfred Adler
The goal of the human soul is conquest, perfection, security, superiority.
Alfred Adler
We are not determined by our experiences, but are self-determined by the meaning we give to them and when we take particular experiences as the basis for our future life, we are almost certain to be misguided to some degree. Meanings are not determined by situations. We determine ourselves by the meanings we ascribe to situations.
Alfred Adler
If I didn't have this affliction, I would be the first. As a rule the if-clause contains an unfulfillable condition, or the patient's own arrangement, which only he can change.
Alfred Adler
